Can't draw? Can shoot!!...

Now I'm going to share a really good technique that I have just mastered (accidentally fell on while choosing the wrong settings) we were round a couple of Friends house and there Cat Toby had got quite fond of the blanket near me so I thought I would get a quick snap (ever the ready pro).

I have exspanded my ISO range on my camera ( in settings most do it) and picked 12800, the grain is amazing but the actual shot looks like its been drawn with a charcoal pencil. I then added a B&W filter and played with the colours alittle.

Not bad after 2 bottles of red wine........... and I mean the picture I'm typing this the morning after with a woozy hangover.

ISO12800 - F4.5 - 1/20 shutter

Who say's working with animals is hard...

We seem to live with one of the worlds most photogenic cats Brodie loves having her photo taken lately we believe she worked for a modelling agency in a prior life...

Fortune favours a prepared mind.......

A comp is great for me as it gets my head thinking about shots and images I usually wouldn't !!
